How to Make Grandma's Fudge Topping
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until well blended.
- Add ½ cup light corn syrup and 1 cup milk to the sugar-cocoa mixture. Stir until completely combined.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Continue to boil, stirring constantly, and use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Boil until the mixture reaches 250°F (121°C).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter or margarine to the top of the hot fudge. Let it melt gently as the mixture cools slightly.
- Once the sauce has cooled slightly (but is still warm), stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Serve immediately over your favorite ice cream. Enjoy!
